TOMATO

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Commodity Description

Tomato is the common name for a perennial herb, Lycopersicon

esculentum, a vinelike annual herb belonging to the nightshade family,
Solanaceae. Like the potato and the green pepper, to which it is closely related,
tomato originated in Central America.
Botanically, the tomato is a fruit, but for purposes of trade it is classified
as a vegetable. Because tomatoes are warm season plants, they are grown as
annuals in temperate climates. Rich in potassium and vitamins A and C. Varieties
range in size from 2 cm. (less than 1 inch) in diameter to more than 15 cm. (6
inches) in color from white to yellow to orange to deep red, in shape from oval to
oblong to teardrop, and in flavor from highly acidic to very sweet.

The tomato plant is propagated principally from seeds which, in temperate

regions, started in greenhouses, hotbeds, or coldframes before setting out in the
field. The plant thrives best in well-fertilized, sandy loams, but grow well on
almost any type of fertile; well-drained soil.

Culture and Management

1
Land Preparation

• Plow the field at least one month before the schedule date of
transplanting
• Plowing and harrowing can be done at one week intervals to allow
weed seeds to germinate between passings.

Sowing

• Water the seedbed thoroughly before sowing

• Prepare horizontal rows spaced 5 cm apart
• Sow 50-100 seeds/row and cover the seeds thinly with fine soil
• Cover the seedbed with thin layer of rice straw mulch to minimize
water loss
• Water the seedbed with a thin layer of rice straw mulch to
minimize water loss.

Transplanting

Transplant the most vigorous, stocky and disease-free seedlings with

3-4 true leaves
Plant 1-2 seedlings/hill at a spacing of 40 cm between hills
Transplant the seedlings late in the afternoon to avoid transplanting
shock
Press the soil firmly around the roots. Irrigate the plants immediately
after transplanting
Replant missing hills immediately

Fertilization

Apply 1 tbsp (10 grms.) complete fertilizer per hill one to two days
before transplanting
First side dressing can be done 30 days after transplanting by mixing
two parts of urea (46-0-0) and one part of muriate of potash (0-0-60)
Apply 1 tbsp (10 grms.) per hill of this mixture 6-8 cm away from the
base of the seedlings in bands.
Side dress using the same mixture and rate two weeks later.

Water Management

Water the plants when necessary. It is desirable that the plants receive
sufficient moisture from the early stage of growth until the early stage
of growth until the early fruiting stage.

Mulching

Use rice straw or silvery plastic mulch. This practice conserves soil
moisture and suppresses weed growth.

2
Trellising

Use bamboo or ipil-ipil as trellis posts and synthetic straw and nylon in
tying and vine training. Trellising reduces losses due to rotting of fruits
especially during wet season and facilitates harvesting.

Pest and Disease Management

Control insect pests and diseases attacking tomato by spraying

recommended pesticide. If organically-grown tomatoes are desired, use
biological agents such as Trichogramma chilonis, and other botanical
pesticides for pest and disease control. Practice hilling-up to minimize
weed growth

Insect and Pest Control

Tomato Fruit Worm. The larvae tunnel into the fruit and feed
voraciously on the tissues. This causes the fruit to rot and subsequently
fall off. The full grown larvae have variable colors. The female adult is
from light to dull olive in color while the male has a dark circular spots on
the middle of the forewings. The eggs are laid singly on the blossoms,
leaves or fruits.

28 Spotted Lady Beetle. Both larvae and adults feed voraciously on the
leaves of the host, scraping away succulent tissues and leaving the thin
epidermis and the veins. When numerous, the host plants are badly
defoliated. The adult is brownish-yellow and turtle-like. The elytra are
provided with 28 dark spots. The spindle-shaped, pale yellow eggs are laid
in clusters of about 9-55 eggs per egg mass on the leaves of the host plant.
The incubation period ranges from 3-5 days. The newly hatched larvae are
yellow turning dark as they mature. They are provided with numerous
spine-like structures. There total larval period ranges from 16-23 days.
The pupa can be found attached on the leaves or stems. The pupal period
lasts from 2-7 days. Total development period ranges from 25-41 days.

3
Melon or Cotton Aphids. It is relatively small species measuring about
1-2 mm long, soft bodied insect. Color normally varies from yellow-green
to dark olivegreen or almost dull black. It causes injury by sucking up the
cell sap of the plant. When numerous, the vigor of the plant is greatly
reduced, stunted and leaves curl down at the edges.

Spider Mites. Nymphs and adults feed by sucking the plant juices. Injured
leaves will show pale mottling or stippling on the upper surface. These
mites have been reported to be responsible for transmitting top crinkle or
necrosis on tomato. It is tiny measuring about 0.20 mm long, yellow, with
dark strips down and back. Egg measures 0.10 mm each are dark colored
and covered with numerous tuburcles.

Disease and Control

Bacterial Wilt. The wilting of the young leaves or slight yellowing of the
oldest leaves is the first symptoms of the disease. The xylem, an inner part
of the stem, turns brown and the roots develop water-soaked appearance.
As the browning and root decay progress, the foliage increasingly wilts
and the plants eventually die.

Bacterial Leaf and Fruit Spot. The young foliage shows pale green
pimples on the surface of the leaf while the upper surface develops
lesions. These raised areas roughen and have been referred to as warts.
Similar spots occur on fruits, on the leaves. The lesions are small, brown,
smooth and are surrounded by a narrow yellow hale. Crop rotation should
be practiced.

Leaf Mold. The first symptom on the leaves is the appearance of a light
green or yellowish are on the upper epidermis. The organism develops and
covers the underside of the leaf with a purple mold. As the fungus
becomes established, the affected tissue is killed and turns brownish
yellow until the whole leaf dies.

4
Mosaic. The disease is caused by a virus. The symptoms of infection are
light and dark green mottling of the leaves, as light curling and occasional
malformation of the leaflets. Infected plants are stunted and have low
yield. The disease is highly infectious. It is highly contagious and is easily
spread by direct contact with infected plants and/or persons who may have
handles mosaic infected plants. It is also transmitted by insect. Strict
sanitation should be practiced. Excessive handling of tomato seedlings
should be avoided. Hands should be washed with soap and water before
handling the plants. Insect vectors such as aphids, leafhoppers and other
sucking insects should be controlled.

Powdery Mildew. Disease appears small, discret, white moldy spots on

the upper surface of the leaflets which rapidly enlarge to an indefinite size
until they coalesce. A light powdery white dirty gray fungus growth later
covers part of the entire upper leaf surface, petioles and young stems.
Infected leaves gradually turn yellow, then brown and die.

Leaf Blight. The disease first appears as water-soaked or pale greenish

blotches on the leaves and other surface parts of the plants. The blotches
enlarge rapidly. In moist weather a white fuzzy growth of the fungus
develops on the underside of the leaf and infection spread over the leaf.
Infected tuber show brown to purple discoloration.

Root Knot. The disease is caused by nematodes. These are active, slender,
thread like roundworms, about 1/70 of an inch long. Their mouth-part is
equipped with a tiny spear or stylet which they used to puncture plant to
obtain plant juices. The root knot nematodes are the most destructive of
the nematodes on vegetables. The most reliable symptom is the presence
of swelling on knots on the roots, which are called galls. The symptoms on
the plants parts above the grounds though not distinct resemble drought
injury or nutrient deficiency. Affected plants become stunted and wilt
readily in hot, dry weather. Crop rotation should be practiced. The farm

5
 should be plowed thoroughly during the dry season to expose the
nematodes to heat and dryness.

Harvesting and Storage

Harvest tomato fruits at mature green or breaker stage early in the

morning
Place the fruits in bamboo crates (kaing) lined with banana leaves or
used newspapers to prevent mechanical damage
Removed bruised and damage fruits and pack fruits with similar
maturity stage in one container
Separate ripe fruits since these produce ethylene that could hasten the
ripening process of unripe fruit

Weed Control

A good land preparation may serve as a weed control. Application

of pre-emergence herbicide is also effective control of Cyperus rotundus
“mutha”. During the plant growth shallow cultivation is required for a
weed control. However, hand hoeing is the most preferred method of
controlling weeds.

Ilocos Region had a surplus production of tomato in 2007 of more than 31

thousand metric tons which can supply the requirement of other regions.

The province of Pangasinan had the highest demand due to its population,
however it can still sustain the supply because it had the highest volume of
production of about 22 thousand metric tons, followed by Ilocos Norte of almost
the same.
Ilocos Norte’s surplus in production caters the demand for the tomato
processing plants located in the province and the deficit supply in La Union.
